I was just wondering if anyone can recommend me a decent manual/book/website on good rescue techniques. Primarily getting someone off the rope in either ascent or descent and also setting up rigs for hauling etc etc.
I did my IRATA level 1 years ago and worked on the ropes for a few years but...
Went for a wander round near the quarries by Harpur Hill today to get some thinking time and came across a very promising looking line of shakeholes/holes along an obvious re-entrant. They are situated on the West side of Hillhead Quarry (near the Sheffield research labs on the Harpur Hill...
